I get a lot of questions from readers, audience members, fans and followers about discipline. Not because I’m an “expert” on discipline. More because I AM discipline. From wearing a nametag 24-7 – to exercising and meditating daily – to starting work at five AM – to writing seven hours a day … I guess discipline is kind of my thing. I blame my mom for this. She’s 30-year…

I was eating sushi when it happened. My friend Gil Wagner was expressing frustration about a colleague of his. Finally, his rant came to an end with the following comment: “I love her to death,” Gil said, “but I just can’t see anybody writing her a check.” I almost choked on my Spicy Tuna Roll.

The only stipulation I’d suggest is that you add one more person to your list of authority figures: Yourself. HERE’S WHY: The word authority derives from the Latin word…

Last time you read a list of things that don’t (really) exist, why they don’t exist, and what exists in their place. Today, I have more: Thirteen additional items that don’t (really) exist. Read them at your own peril… 1. “Must see” doesn’t exist. That’s just fancy, coma-inducing marketing language for, “Please addict yourself to our crappy programming so our advertisers don’t come to their senses and stop wasting…

Have you ever found yourself arguing about whether or not something (really) existed? I don’t mean existential ideas like God or space or reality. I’m talking about simple, basic things we encounter every day. Do they (really) exist, or has the steady stream of illusions veiled the truth from us? GOOD NEWS: I’m here to set the record straight. Below is a list of things that don’t exist, why…

1. Energy is the best attractor. People might not remember what you said – but they’ll never forget how your energy made them feel. That’s what brings them back for more of you. That’s what causes them to tell everyone they know about you. Whether or not your forcefield of aliveness helped them fall in love with themselves. How do you make people feel essential? 2. Execution is the…

Every Thanksgiving, I take a Gratitude Walk. Usually through Forest Park in St. Louis. It’s spectacularly crunchy and colorful in the fall. This past year, I took a break about halfway through my walk for a brief sitting meditation on a nearby park bench. As I sat down, I noticed a gold plate fastened to the top. It read the following: “In memory of Benjamin Harris Wells. The world…
